This will make you consider becoming a Vegan

Very rarely am I ever disgusted and astonished upon hearing or learning certain things, but I recently read something that left me asking "WTF" AND "How is that possible?"


Would you like to know what I'm talking about?? Well the Japanese have found a way to "synthesize" human feces, yeah human poop, and turn into an "edible steak".


Here is an article from June 2011 describing how the steak made of human poop is actually made.


From what I gathered from the article, scientists started tinkering around with this idea for a few reasons.
  • The meat farming industry creates havoc on the environment. So, by reducing the demand for actual beef, by increasind demand for poop meat, we reduce the amount of green house gases and waste pumped into the environment.
  • If there were some food shortage due to a huge boom in population growth, this could be manufactured as an alternative food source.
They also went on to say that the price is too high to make it "appealing" to the masses, but with a little bit more time the price will be more comparable to actual beef. Umm...excuse me sir, but I don't think it is the *bleeping*  price that is making it unappealing.


I don't  know about ya'll but this sounds like some straight up foolishness! There is just no way that I'm going to put something manufactured from human waste into my mouth just for the sake of having "meat".


After reading this article, I'm definitely glad that I've made a change to a plant based diet. I know this sounds all consipracy-ish, but consider this, what if "poop meat" gets snuck into our food supply right beneath our unassuming noses at some point?


What's your 2 cents about the poop steak? Would you become 100% vegan before you put something like that in your mouth?
